#LifeAtOkta

Meaningful change can only happen if it's driven alongside our partners and communities.

June is Pride month, and given its importance to the gay community, it’s an ideal time to reflect on what the word “ally” means with regards to Underrepresented Groups (URGs). I am a straight white man who was born with massive intersectional privilege. This allows me to go through life without experiencing the discrimination or oppression, based…
